Answer 1

Answer 2

Thesis statement which best addresses this assignment is A. Our county is one of five counties in the state deciding whether or not to levy a meal tax on its citizens.

As a result, the meal tax hasn't been levied yet, being on a deciding factor the thesis statements asks for the opinion on the proposed meal in for or against.
